The Ministry of Public Works is again appealing to vendors along the Kingston Seawall, to desist from illegally connecting electricity to their businesses.
This practice is both unlawful and dangerous, the ministry said in a press release yesterday.
Only recently, the ministry was again forced to confront a vendor who has been committing this act in spite of repeated warnings. The vendor had connected an illegal wire from his stall to the nearby street lamp pole, the ministry said.
Vendors were warned that failure to comply with the law, and stipulations outlined in their lease agreement will hamper future business relations.
Further, these illegal connections have been causing malfunctions to the entire circuitry system.
The ministry urged members of the public to continue to report these and other illegal practices when observed.
